THANKFUL TUESDAY on Weds. so I'm a day late again...

Last night I was tucking Cole in and I asked him if there was anything in particular that he wanted to thank God for about this day.
He looked at me with those huge blue eyes and matter of factly said, " Yes, I want to thank God that He made the earth and everything in it, and that includes me."
More than a little surprised because that was not what I was expecting, and moved because he was so right, we stopped and praised God together.
Then I asked," What about today, is there something that happened today that you want to thank God for?"
"Oh yea, that I won all those balls in the claw machine, that was awesome."

Now that was more like what I had been expecting, but as we prayed again and thanked God for helping him win all those balls. I was reminded that The LORD who made heaven and earth cares about the "claw machines" that are important to me in my life. How Good God is.....

"Lord I lift up my hands and bless You. The Lord who made heaven and earth.
For I know that You are God and You are great, and can do whatever you please.
Thank you that when I call on You that you hear me.
And what is important to me is important to You.
Be exalted O God above the heavens,
And your glory above all the earth."
Psalms 134:23, 135:5,6,120:1, 108:5

Yes check out the ball collection, you do not want to know how much they cost me.
